A few years back I was fortunate to get my first flight as a passenger inside a Bell 206B-3 Jet RangerII which was doing flights from a local gardening centre. My father bought two tickets and so we headed over early one Saturday morning to go and take a short flight.

It was the first time I had been in a helicopter, it was the first time I was able to sit in cockpit and this is the first time that I have ever completed a full repaint for FS2004 to celebrate the ocassion. If you Click Here you can see the helicopter just minutes before my first flight and I have a video somewhere from when I was by the pilot flying around the town.

Aircraft is the default Bell 206 repainted by myself over the course of several late nights and stressful days!  Grin

Cheers for looking.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I remember my first (and only) time in a helo, most definitely a memory that sticks with you forever.  Shocked  Cheesy  Wink

Cheers folks.

There currently isn't an uploaded version at the moment and I'm not sure if there will be.... Lets just say the paint scheme is very one sided  Grin

I may get into it a bit more and produce other ones though.
